I swear they're just conditioning kids for their employers to do the same thing. We just call it noble when we're adults.

7-7 is horrible...I prefer 3-3.

@@wesleyalan9179Poor kids will be sleep deprived.

@@X0AleeX0 I need to make myself clear, I work 3am to 3pm, 5 days a week...I prefer that over 7am to 7pm. (I do NOT think its good for children to do that.) Yes, you're correct..poor kids would lose so much sleep.

Extended after school “programming”

😆😆😆😆😆

Thank god you retired. It’s nice to see there are teachers who will work the extra hours, at double their normal rate to ensure that the kids in their classroom are taken care of until their parents can pick them up. Our teachers earned $65 + per hour to stay 3-4 hours longer to tutor kids, have study hall and extra curricular activities for both the kids and stay at home parents who needs English or GED classes. It takes a village to create a thriving community.

It's a different world though. Unfortunately.

As a current educator, I can say that I concur. I'm okay with it so long as I'm not on the clock until 7pm. Use those funds to pay other people to run the program.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

U can always make it work and Homeschool

Give your children to those who have not even been able to teach these same children, you'll let them have them for even longer??? Before you get angry with me, look up the statistics!

@@MyCatsChannel841 Yes, homeschooling provides great chemistry, physics and mathematics resources.

This is the beginning of all classical dystopian literature: dissolve the family; institutionalize child-raising.. The last 20 years have not been an accident or bad luck.

This needs to be top comment.

While we work towards goals, some people actually have to work. Childcare is expensive, meaning the parents would have to work more hours any way. This is a better alternative to leaving children at home

They raised the minimum wage in California to a living wage, and people are having a cow. You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I bet the kids love this. I would imagine they’d rather be home, but I can guarantee a lot of them are happier there. As long as everyone is ok with this, why not. Sometimes the safest place for kids, is school. Mama’s can’t be home with their babies no more. If this helps, why not.

I want to know the programming and procedur they go through to fit into the 7-7....please don't hate, I'm just curious.

I think it depends on what the options are for advancement, tutoring, and overall interest. If I was a kid and I could be part of a group that helped me excel or just had the same non harmful fun I wanted to have, I would enjoy my life and everyone in it a lot more.

​@@weirdo24-7there are also children who have trepidation about walking home from school going through all the perils to get there only to be home alone for 4 hours. Lot of time for lots of bad things to happen.

@@sandra-jones Children being at home alone for an extended period of time or on a repetitious schedule of constant free time will just leave them to their own devices and unsupervised habits. To be fair, I also think 12hr shifts for teachers to be with some bad behaving kids is too long on a bad day. Lol. I love kids too but being able to relax and decompress is more important. Lol. 10hr shifts should be more humane. Lol.

@@weirdo24-7 i was not able to understand your first sentence. Also in the clip the adults were advocating the program so it seems if they didn't want to do it they wouldn't advocate it on camera. Also it's interesting that you just gave a blanket behavior status to a whole group of children you know nothing about. Lastly I'm sure there are criteria and rules in place to handle discipline... there was no indication that this was mandatory on the teachers side nor the students side.

@@sandra-jones To be fair, it's not really about the parents. It's about the kids and the teachers and the implications of quality advancement in different aspects that can be offered to the children. It's okay to give a blanket statement about stress when dealing with bad behaving children on a bad day since it is realistically going to happen. It's not about knowing children but analyzing a real scenario. Not every day is perfect and not every child is perfect as well as teachers. Lastly it's not just about dealing with children but dealing with stressful conditions and situations as a teacher and being able to relax and decompress with enough time at home for the teacher. They have lives at home. I don't know where you got that I said anything about anything being mandatory, be a gem and point that out or explain why you thought that?

Teachers are 100% not working the 12 hours they're definitely doing 6 or 8 hours and switching off... you seriously think teachers are, by force, working 12 hours 5 days a week?

It is getting after a bigger problem that others refuse to do anything about. If our tax dollars aren't paying for representatives willing to combat corporate greed, then this is the alternative. Furthermore, trillions of dollars more of our tax dollars are spent on things far less beneficial to the public.

@@boparks3204 "trillions being spent on things less beneficial for the public" them why tf would anyone vote for more taxes?

It's probably a sign up thing like summer school. They choose to do it.

Id rather have my tax dollars paying for this than sending it to Ukraine and Israel; or incarcerating yet another generation of hoodlums because kids were left home alone and started running the streets. At least these children stand a better chance of breaking the cycle of poverty.

We have this in Germany. School ends at 1:00 and after school care runs until 6:30. The reality is some people need this type of care. It's not actually "school". It's playing outside, crafting, finishing homework, dance parties, field trips, documentaries, pokemon cards and everything kids would love to do all day at home. At first I thought it was too much and would try to have my son at home by 3:00. Now he refuses to come home until 4:00-4:30. Flexible work schedule helps us a lot but he still loves being there.

You don’t get it, it’s a regular school day with childcare attached as an option. Not every single parent can come at two or 3 o’clock to pick up the kids.

Do you like to eat? A roof? A car? Unfortunately, in this economy, Biden has provided 😂 😢 most of us work 2-3 jobs. I can't imagine what single parents are going through

You damn well it's trump​@@stephy6199

@@nisrinarnouk4373That’s awesome! Even before I read your comment I was thinking the same thing, that after-school was included.

This is for single parent households and lower income jobs. I’m not trying to be rude but it’s an inner city. People with an education/job/career/any little not on money, don’t live in an inner city with a family. The only reason these kids are here is because the parent/s are either busting their asses at work/working multiple jobs, OR the parents are lazy degenerate POS.

Its so wrong! And leaving these poor kids trapped in a state run institution is just so, so harmful to their wellbeing. Like you said, they should be at home with their families having dinner. 7am to 7pm is the whole waking day. Its more like prison. They can't leave and they have no choice. Parents shouldnt have these problems.

I didn't see pissed off teachers there. They realize its the difference between leaving kids home alone while parents have to work longer hours to pay bills vs in care with adults they know and trust

Teachers dont even work 8 hours a day. Get ALOT of time off. Definitely not over worked.

@@not_bout_it yes they are over worked...as a teacher. The time you think they have off..aka kids holidays they are still required to work to develop curriculum etc

I would actually feel better about sending my sons to school if it was the way you described

Many children who got out at 3:00-3:30 and didn't attend an after school program, would then be home alone since plenty of parents work 8-4, 9-5. Elementary students home alone

Those schools are anything but safe. 12 hour days? We really are turning into China little by little.

❤

Yeah because having them be in after school care past school hours is such a safe idea. So many things I feel could go wrong with this.

You guys are so silly. After school programs have been proven to help keep kids off the streets. This is a perfect idea for parents who basically have to work themselves to death to keep a roof over their heads and food on their plates. In a perfect world we would have nothing but time to spend raising our kids and not worrying about finance but this isn’t a perfect world and it’s better than neglecting them.

I agree! I find it very tasteless when people use sugarcoating words without addressing the main issue. I see this quite a lot in American culture. The best way to tackle it is to call out the truth.

That’s what allot of families look like now anyways, many mothers tell me their kids go to bed at 7-7:30 .. they get home 3:30-4 .. in the span if 3 hours how much is screen time, eating, and bathing? Then society blames parents for agents of chaos but in reality kids spend less than 15 hrs a week with parents and 40+ at school

They seem like they’re perfectly fine and having fun at the glow party to me

I mean...what part about working parents do you not understand?

@@aceb4634 crazy the effects of rate of inflation and the insisting of women independence on society.. before solely a man’s middle class income was enough to support a home and family .. now 2 incomes can barely create thriving families

You and 141 people did not understand a word that this segment stated. These parents are working to provide a roof over their head and food on the table, hence, why they can’t spend more time with their children. This is not hard to understand.

Yes, but to the 1%, you are expendable, replaceable, disposable....

Back in the day you could also afford to let moms be moms and not work.

Hello...PARENTS!! Why is the expected parenting responsibility always on the moms?

Back in the day, we came home to an empty house, it was called latchkey kids. At least they are safe here. Hopefully they are paying these teachers!

Whatever the payment, it doesn't compare or replace quality time spent with loved ones. And their record for appropriating funds in a descent, equitable way should let you know that its highly unlikely. The forethought of a project like this gives off the arrogance of manipulation, control and further stress and strain on family ties to pretend to help while circles are being ran by a rat face who clearly out of touch with what's truly needed. So, they want everyone else running circles too. At the end of the day, nobody wants to spend their entire life working for others and Nothing to show for it and family time an after thought. And if any of the so called bucket head genius had a half brain to thank. They'd never would have and continued structure of dismantling, duress, control then manipulation for self gratification. Civil people want others and themselves to be and do what makes them happy without causing harm to others. This my friend, is a banana in the tail pipe and smoke up the behind.

It's not mandatory. It's for parents who can benefit from the extra time instead of paying for a sitter. It's not that complicated a concept 😒

That's wishful thinking...they don't get paid enough as it is!!😒

No one should be staying late/working more whether it's parents or teachers.​@@Omni-King2099

You know they are!

I think this is about working parents who can afford the freakishly expensive day care... Did you not think of this ?? Or was it lazy parents the first thing that popped up in your dome . But I do agree the teachers need to be compensated. Or daycare should be a universal program free of charge

Comprehension of the topic. . .🫵🏻🤔. . .start there

@@user-misspokenyour missing his point. As a parent, you cannot work that long. You just can’t. You have your raise your kids. So no, you can’t work 60 hrs a week and abandon your kids at daycare. You gotta work ONE job and be there for your family- even if you’re in a studio.

​These children can't afford to be raised by the system. The system has already failed in education! It's too long of a day. 7pm pick up? Dinner and homework should be done at home then spending time on the with family. These children will be going to bed after 9pm, just to get up early to be to school by 7am! Too much! No life for the child. I'd rather my chi😢bee home alone after school than in school all day!

​@@motherofthreeb6337I understand how you feel. I was very fortunate to be able to stay home and raise my 2 sons who are now 22 and 26. However, here in the 5 boroughs of New York City, many people can't afford to stay home for their children's entire childhood.

Oh absolutely. Plus what about the kids that are on the bus for an hour to an hour and a half before and after school that's like a 15-hour day for some kids. My kid goes to school at 1:15, the bus picks her up at 11:55. Then she gets out at 3:45 and the bus isn't dropping her off until 10 after 5:00 p.m. so her little 2.5 hour school day turns into 5 hours just because of the bus and her school is like 20 minutes away from where the bus picks her up at my work

PARENTS ARE WORKING 12+ HOURS!!! I GUESS THEY SHOULD QUIT AND GET ON WELFARE SO THEY CAN BE HOME WITH THEIR KIDS

it’s not the states problem they jus put it out there it’s the parents job to put themselves in the kids lives bc even if the kids are home maybe the parent isn’t and even if they’re both home a parent can be there physically but not there in other ways that kids need

Do you think this is mandatory? Its just a longer childcare for kids who's parents might work longer. They literally say only a portion of the kids stay

@ghengis423 it's probably not mandatory. Considering that teachers are with our kids more waking hours than the parents it's not something that's truly a good thing. I'm in Arkansas, a deep red state. My kids were being told to call CPS on their parents for Anything that child deemed abuse. That was ranged from making them eat a dinner they didn't like, to an actual spanking. They had a feminist teacher that voiced her opinions about how bad marriage and children are. They said they had no bullying policy. If the bully was the child of a teacher or administrator it was overlooked. The kids that needed help understanding their work were overlooked. Kids that couldn't read well enough to follow instructions were passed to next grade. Anytime kids are spending more time with state paid employees, they are not going to be influenced/taught the values or principles the parents hold dear.

EXCELLENT POINT.

Very scary. This is exactly what the powers that be want. And look, they're testing it out on the black community of course! These people push all this "woke" crap and look what they do to black people! Its sick!

You are a jerk.

Why I’m not having children tbh (more like can’t because of this reality we are in).

I do to!! That's to damn long for little kids & the poor teachers!!

Y'all are so blessed to be able to be at home when your childrens school day ends. The rest of us however, who are working full time and trying to parent are more than happy for the help and a safe place for our kids to be after school and get extra help with homework. For us and our kids this is a blessing

They single mother kids.. Their lives aren't worth living

Why? Did we not watch the same clip of kids happy?😂 their not your kids .

@@clementmckenzie7041 if you need to work this long in order to survive you need to re think your priorities, move out of the city etc... Little children should not be away from their PARENTS for 12 hrs

Probably not, but the schools get more funding from the government. So probably the higher ups get a raise or bonus, for each child signed up.

The teachers/assistants also usually don’t get over time for this. It’s given a new name and considered a separate program. It’s optional for teachers who want the extra money. My kids school does 7am-6pm and the school day is 9am-3pm.

Not likely. Having worked at a school, a lot goes unpaid and a lot goes overworked.

Amen to this🙌❤️

Sounds GREAT..... in a UTOPIA.... THIS IS AMERICA 🤷🏾‍♀️

“the state” lol

Umm well we need MONEY to do that. New York wages are only $16/hr but apartments are 3k for efficiencies.

Nah, they’re trying to make sure they have far more involvement than the parents do. Government wants to make sure its drones are raised properly

they don’t have to work that long. seems like after normal school hours it’s full of activities and fun for the kids

I’m sure it’s not 12 hours of straight schooling. I’m sure it’s that the school day ends, available time to do homework, then fun activities and games, such as the glow party shown in the video.

@@Catherine.Dorian.I see you’ve come out of your underground bunker to share some thoughts…

Kids actually like being at school that long they get to play because at home there’s no one there because parents are still working

They are working and their wages are so low they can't afford daycare

​@@user-misspokenDaycare is no better. I don't have anything against schools or daycare but it is not a substitute for family. Small children need their mom and dad. The substitute should be a grandparent or a different relative. Parents need to parent. Families need to care for their own child. (This is not trash wife rhetoric. This is common sense. Children need a lot of individual love and attention when they are little in order to develop a good sense of self and security. Schools and Daycares can not do it. They have a place but that's not their job.)

@@newtrollaccount384 Unfortunately for low income and communities of color many lost grandparents and family in the pandemic. The school mentioned that this was only after they returned to school. There are quite a few who lost their support system. Relatives have to work as well. I’m not saying I agree with it but it’s the reality of living in a capitalist society that provides no support for schools or parents. Parents need to work 9-5 and there’s no one home to pick up the kids after school.

"and unfit parents keep reproducing" Well said. That's the issue at its core.

@@jklfds85 Thank you.

The worst is that some would actually hand their kids over no questions asked.

What is the solution? Have you take stock of the community needs and drawn up a plan to take to your representative so that parents can afford to make a living wage and pay bills and not leave their kids home alone ?

@@MyCatsChannel841 you can’t just do everything at home if you don’t like what the government is doing. More than schooling is discussed at council meetings…perhaps you should attend one and see just how many aspects of your life is discussed there

Hmmm...sad

Also notice mainly black kids/school

That's not a bad idea.

It already changed... you just never paid attention nor listened when "liberals" were screaming about corporate greed and cost of living years ago. Some foresaw this problem... other laughed at them.

@boparks3204 We've been paying close attention, which is why I commented, "Not on my watch. Not my family." America still has strong communites who did not co-sign this foolishness by drinking the kool-aid. Gotta stand united, periodt

@chocoalien78 Ummm, it has already happened. When parents must work 12-14 hour days just to provide appropriate liv8ng conditions for their child/children... it has already happened. If it affects the majority... it has already happened. The only thing to do is get to the root cause (corporate greed)... and do what you can to help each other.

Then parents shouldn't have kids if they don't have time for them!!!

​@@jklfds85yet abortion is banned and men are screaming for women to have more kids............and inflation is hella high how about lowering the living cost

@@user-fj4zc2sr5z that is a horrible reason to be for murdering your child.

The teachers are not forced to stay. The sign up for this program and are paid $. New York City has a powerful union. Trust me, I know.

It’s not picking money over your kid. Parents are not working this much just for fun. It’s all about survival and providing the best you can for your children. That requires sacrifices and making difficult decisions and money is a big part of decision making process. If you make enough money then your kid reaps the benefits, like a roof over their head, healthy food, good education, healthcare, extracurricular activities, etc. Many parents leave their jobs out of necessity. Daycare costs more than what they make so it doesn’t make sense for them to continue to work.

I'm curious. If parents work a standard 9-5 like anyone. Where are they supposed to leave their kids? Why is daycare ok but school lets out so early?

@@hmunaaawell said !

They probably don't. They trade off with other teachers.

Thank you both for sharing. I've never heard of this at all. Our wages have never gone up like they should for over 30 years. Greed is destroying America, I believe. Everything is expensive, and people working 2 jobs I can see this helping the family unit. As a society changes, we have to make adjustments too, unfortunately.

It's not mandatory. It's for families that need the help.

Depending on the pay I’m sure the teachers will do it for OT mainly after while. Or maybe they will have a higher summer paycheck if they opt in for that method. It can’t still be around 30k yearly and expect teachers to do 12hrs 5days a week. There will be so much burn out.
